Acceptance Review Results on the LAR to Modify Tech. Spec. Information for Table 2.2-1 and Table 3.3-1 (TAC No. ME2465)

Jim/Mike:

By letter dated October 22, 2009, Entergy Operations, Inc., submitted a license amendment request for Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3. The proposed change will modify the Technical Specifications (TS) Table 2.2-1 and Table 3.3-1. This TS change is intended to clarify TS Table 2.2-1 Notes "1" and "5", TS Table 3.3-1 Notes "a" and "c", TS Table 3.3-1 Action 2, and TS Table 3.3-1 Action 3 which have resulted in Plant Protection System redundancy issues with respect to verbatim compliance.

The purpose of this letter is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's acceptance review of this amendment request. The acceptance review was performed to determine if there is sufficient technical information in scope and depth to allow the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review. The acceptance review is also intended to identify whether the application has any readily apparent information insufficiencies in its characterization of the regulatory requirements or the licensing basis of the plant.

Consistent with Section 50.90 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), an amendment to the license (including the technical specifications) must fully describe the changes requested, and follow as far as applicable, the form prescribed for original applications. Section 50.34 of 10 CFR addresses the content of technical information required.

This section stipulates that the submittal address the design and operating characteristics, unusual or novel design features, and principal safety considerations.

The NRC staff has reviewed your application and concluded that it provides technical information in sufficient detail to enable the staff to proceed with its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed amendment in terms of regulatory requirements and the protection of public health and safety and the environment. If additional information is needed for the staff to complete its technical review, you will be advised by separate correspondence.

If you have any questions, please call me at 415 1480.
